Revitalize Your Smile: Professional Scaling & Polishing

A cornerstone of optimal oral health, professional Scaling & Polishing goes beyond daily brushing and flossing to give you a truly clean, healthy, and vibrant smile. Our comprehensive service is designed to remove hidden threats and superficial stains, ensuring your teeth and gums are in their best possible condition.

What is Scaling & Polishing?

This essential dental procedure is divided into two distinct, yet complementary, stages:

1. Scaling (Deep Cleaning)

Scaling is the meticulous process of removing plaque and tartar (also known as calculus) from your tooth surfaces, both above and below the gumline. Plaque is a sticky film of bacteria that constantly forms on your teeth, while tartar is hardened plaque that can only be removed professionally.

• How it's done: We use advanced ultrasonic scalers, which utilize high-frequency vibrations to gently break down and dislodge stubborn plaque and tartar, followed by fine hand instruments for precise removal in specific areas.
• Why it's crucial: If left untreated, plaque and tartar can lead to gum inflammation (gingivitis), gum disease (periodontitis), bad breath, and even tooth decay. Scaling helps prevent these serious oral health issues.

2. Polishing (Smile Enhancement)

Once your teeth are thoroughly scaled, the polishing stage begins. This involves using a specialized dental polishing paste and a rotating rubber cup or brush to smooth the tooth surfaces.

• How it's done: The polishing paste comes in various grits, gently buffing away extrinsic stains caused by coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco, and certain foods.
• Why it's crucial: Polishing not only leaves your teeth feeling incredibly smooth and clean but also helps to make them appear brighter and whiter. A smooth tooth surface is also less likely to accumulate new plaque and stains, making your home oral hygiene routine more effective.

Who Needs Professional Scaling & Polishing?

This essential service is highly recommended for:

• Anyone due for a routine dental check-up: Typically every 6 months, or as advised by your dentist.
• Individuals experiencing bad breath (halitosis): Often caused by bacterial build-up.
• Those with bleeding or swollen gums: Common signs of gingivitis.
• Patients with visible plaque or tartar build-up: You might notice a rough, yellow-brown deposit on your teeth.
• Anyone seeking to remove surface stains: To achieve a brighter, more aesthetic smile.
• As a preventative measure: To maintain optimal oral health and prevent future problems.
